    A question for Latinoman

    Re: My GUT reaction on this is as such...(Have never been married or engaged). ...that in the early parts of youth with hormones blazing, it's the DREAM that we have on something. Young girls don't envision the future being tough, anymore than young men envision encountering obstacles. Both...

    After someone here posted Southpark WOW, I watched it relentessly. I made all my friends watch it, too. It's one of my favorite episodes. This season has been AWESOME; probably THE funniest. Anyways, walking through the mall near my place, I sauntered into GameStop. I was looking for a...

    Your Philosophy on Life: Living for yourself or Other People.

    Is living for yourself, selfish? Isn't anything that comes from you SELFISH? Isn't the demands or requests of another SELFISH on their part, to expect to do something for them or with them? What does it mean to live for someone else? Should you live for someone else? If you do...

    i put this to you: you are not as good looking as you think

    Re: Pissing Contests and ****-Size Competitions, LOVE IT... 1) Would rather take information from someone who is NOT stunning, but bags chicks, or someone whos IS stunning and bags chicks? One denotes skill, the other denotes more luck and physiological advantage. 2) IMO, men become boys...

    How Soon to Workout After Soreness?

    Re: It's unique to the individual, but personally, if I worked out while sore, I wouldn't do anymore weight than I did last workout. So why lift again? Also, if you're not doing COMPOUND movements, you're not getting all you can out of your workouts. Therefore it would be obvious that you want...

    Those Who Lost Their Virginity Before Sosuave...

    Re: What the he77...i'll bite. I was 17, like many others, probably before the Internet was popular as a medium of communication. I didn't even have a computer except for writing documents and it had only MS DOS. My 1st actually came right up to me. It was the end of senior year, I'd...

    Recommendations on the BIG Three. Get Educated...

    Re: FDA, RDA, It's all the same in my dyslexic, rarely-ever proof-reading mind, but thank you for pointing that out. Regarding motivation...you can't motivate anyone. If you motivate an idiot, you've still got a motivated Idiot, like a chimp with a gun or a car. But for those who are...

    Low-Carb vs Low Fat (yes, another thread)

    Re: 1) This is why EVERY person should understand basic health and fitness info. If we were only concerned with a few food choices, such as meat n potatoes, then people would only eat until they're full. That's not so in today's world of chemically produced food where man made food can still...

    The Beginning of True Power and Awareness.

    Re: Excellent input and addition, squirrels. Most people that come here, or to any self-improvement site, book, program, or guru are just fed up. They've realized the beliefs and actions they've long held onto aren't yielding what they want. Big problem is, they don't know what THEY want...

    NFL Thread

    Re: My money would still be on the Pats. Here's why... The colts CANNOT stop the run. To allow Plummer, who is 1/2 the QB that Tom is to even move the ball is reprehensible. Tatum and Mike Bell are GOOD, but they are PLUG n PLAY Rb's. They are not PURE runners like a Maroney, or a...

    accounting career

    Re: Working with accountants and have a degree in it, I can say... [] It pays well, but you'll kill yourself during tax season. [] It's very technical and requires a thorough understanding of tax laws. [] There's lots of lateral opportunity within the accounting field, to private or public...

    Recommendations on the BIG Three. Get Educated...

    If you're going to make the BIG 3 a center piece of your program around which to build strength AND size, I would advise ALL lifters to not only get books on DOING the movements properly, but also take a lesson or 2 from a powerlifter on doing them properly. Find a big guy you're friends with...

    Vector Marketing Corp. / Cutco Cutlery

    Re: Ha, that's a good one. ^. And yet, you can't have it either! ~~~~~~~~ I was mentioning this because what separates the 5-10% from the 90-95%? I worked for the company for a short time period, and probably could go back. I had a buddy who did it in NC and did ok, but came away with...

    Understanding Why Compound Movements Work and What to Focus On in Training.

    Re: Nice clarification, WBA. I've done DB presses before, and I'm benching now. DB presses are nice, but I don't get the feeling of "compound movement." Surprisingly, the guys who hurt themselves quite handily (in my experience) are more like regular gym guys who might bench above the norm...

    Are Self-Help programs a big con?

    Re: **If there was a TELL-ALL book, more than 5% of this country would be wealthy. When you consider that few people attain wealth like that, fewer still read, then there's a nice correlation to those that READ (beyond basic HS and COLLEGE courses) and those with nice, large estates...
